Stair-stepped Output

Stair-stepped Output

Stair-stepped output is print which starts at the top left of the page but every

line thereafter starts a little further over to the right. It also refers to Unix jobs

that print one line of text at the top of a page followed by a series of blank

pages.

This kind of output happens only with Unix text jobs if carriage return insertion

is not incorporated into the print setup. The printer may be told to do a

linefeed but the Unix job does not specify anything about a carriage return to

follow this.

To fix this, carriage return insertion must be enabled somewhere in the print

setup. The easiest and most common location is on the LineJet Print Server

itself within the appropriate model. The feature is called

onlcr and the

command syntax is:

set model

modelname

stty onlcr

save

For example, if printing to the destination d1prn, the associated model is

Therefore, the command is:

set model m1 stty onlcr

save

No Form Feed Or Extra Page Comes Out

Unix text jobs may also have problems outputting the last page of a job

especially when the BSD Remote (LPD) print method is used. This means the

form feed button has to be pressed on the printer to get this last page out.

To make this process automatic, tell the LineJet Print Server to handle this

task by setting this feature “on” in the appropriate model. The command

syntax is:

set model

modelname

trailer $FF

save

For example, if printing to the destination d2prn, the associated model is m2.

Therefore, the command is:

set model m2 trailer $FF

save

For default destination model mappings of the LineJet Print Server, please

see “LineJet Print Server Naming Schemes” on page 240.
